New Release: Dagger of Deception
In the World of Anaxantis… When I first started writing The Invisible Chains, I had a fairly linear story in mind. I didn’t foresee how it would swell up and bulge out left and right, up and down, until it contained more than a dozen storylines and literally hundreds of characters. The Dark Tales […]
Short Thriller: The Man by the Lake
Hi there, It’s been a while… I hope you’re all healthy and safe. I never entirely stopped writing, although my production was low. Moreover, I never published anything I’d written. I’m going to repair that and start with a short story, a thriller. Baby steps. As per usual I’m doing it […]

Lee-Lack’s Gold and Other Stories
It has been some time since my last post here. There’s a reason for that. I’ve had pneumonia. It takes your breath away. Not in the usual, figurative sense, but quite literally. It also sucks the joy of life out of you. I’d like to say it’s all behind me, but the truth is that […]
